Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the three major food crops and an important source of carbohydrates for maintaining food security around the world.Plant height (H),stem diameter (SD),leaf area index (LAI) and dry matter...
Morphological characterization and phenological modeling were carried out on genotypes of Jatropha platyphylla collected from the states of Sinaloa and Durango, Mexico. The morphological characterization eviden...
Linear regression analysis is one the most common methods for weather-normalizing energy data,where energy versus degree-days is plotted,quantifying the impacts of outside temperature on buildings’energy use.However,...
